How Does Calais Work? Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 04/08/2008 - 15:55. Calais: Connect. Everything. We want to make all the world's content more accessible, interoperable and valuable. Some call it Web 2.0, Web 3.0, the Semantic Web or the Giant Global Graph - we call our piece of it Calais. What Calais does sounds simple – what you do with it could be simply amazing. The Core: The OpenCalais Web Service The OpenCalais Web Service automatically creates rich semantic metadata for the content you submit – in well under a second. The tags are delivered to you; you can then incorporate them into other applications - for search, news aggregation, blogs, catalogs, you name it. If you're not familiar with OpenCalais, the Document Viewer is a way to get a quick peek at OpenCalais output. You can also visit our Showcase for examples of how developers have implemented OpenCalais in a variety of ways.
